Tilt in Space Wheelchair

Tilt in Space Wheelchair 

A tilt-in-space wheelchair is a type of mobility aid designed to provide enhanced comfort and support for individuals who need assistance with mobility and posture. The "CP" often refers to its use by people with cerebral palsy (CP) or other conditions that affect motor control. Here’s an overview of its main features, benefits, and considerations:

Features of a Tilt-in-Space Wheelchair:

1. Tilt Mechanism: This wheelchair can tilt backward while maintaining the user's hip, knee, and ankle angles. This allows the seat to tilt as a whole, changing the user’s orientation without altering their body posture.
2. Pressure Relief: The tilt function helps redistribute body weight, reducing pressure on the hips and lower back to prevent pressure sores and improve circulation.
3. Postural Support: Provides better positioning, which is essential for individuals with conditions that impact muscle control, such as cerebral palsy. The tilt feature helps maintain alignment and reduces the risk of sliding forward.
4. Customizable Options: Tilt-in-space wheelchairs can often be equipped with various supports such as headrests, lateral supports, and specialized cushions tailored to the user's needs.
5. Recline Feature (sometimes available): Some models may include a recline option, allowing the backrest to move independently from the seat base, providing more flexibility for rest and comfort.

Benefits for People with Cerebral Palsy:

• Improved Comfort: The tilt function can significantly enhance comfort for users who need to sit for extended periods.
• Reduced Fatigue: Allows users to shift their position and rest muscles that may be fatigued or spastic due to CP.
• Assistance with Breathing and Digestion: Certain tilted positions can aid in breathing and reduce pressure on the abdomen, helping with digestion and other bodily functions.
• Improved Caregiver Interaction: Caregivers can adjust the user’s position without lifting or shifting the individual, making it easier and safer for both.
